chatgpt search isn’t ready for the browser. try looking up an address or place, it’s painful. the latency alone kills it & most of the time it’s not the right output. local search & data is still google’s unshakable moat.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Engineers and technical teams

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

twitter hype is out of control again. we are not gonna deploy AGI next month, nor have we built it. we have some very cool stuff for you but pls chill and cut your expectations 100x!

🚨 GB News has won in the High Court against Ofcom—the first time Ofcom has lost a judicial review of a broadcasting code decision. This attempt to silence GB News shows free speech is under attack, but I thank the Court for defending The People’s Channel. Go GB News Go!

Google just found out that they can't rig the search market to exclude their competitors anymore. And soon a cabal of advertisers and agencies will find out that they can't arbitrarily engineer a boycott of Rumble & X. We've joined @X to sue them, and we'll see them in court.

zuck seems less like a visionary & more an extremely aggressive adapter who controls enough equity & has enough cash flow to act on adaptations instantly. that’s a different & maybe rarer (maybe even more admirable) thing than being right.

anyone trying to opportunistically cozy up to government demand right now is stepping straight into a generational perception minefield with both their employees & their customers. there’s no thread the needle strategy here. you are what you do, when you do it.

it'd be so poetic if elon buys paypal, strips it down to the bones just like twitter, & integrates back into x (his original vision which he got fired for). in another life, i'd love to be ceo of x pay, there is so much potential god damn.

waymo is doing literal on the ground sci fi w/ autonomous point a to b for humans & goods at scale (a *real* human problem since the dawn of existence) & the valuation is only 1/6th of openai & less than half of anthropic? that's remarkable. why wasn't i invited to invest?

in ~5 years there’ll be another marquee case, except this time it won't be personal diaries. it’ll be nine ai note takers, three auto dialed bots that you didn't even know were in the meeting, all producing perfect transcripts with timestamps everywhere.

let me get this straight in an alternate reality thinking machines gets scooped by zuck for ~$75b ~8 months ago. investors cash out, employees get rich, & everyone moves on. oh & scale ai gets no liquidity whatsoever. in this reality there is ~ only one winner, openai. fun.
